Traditional Purim Foods
Find these classics at Pittsburgh kosher restaurants and caterers.
Hamantaschen
Triangular pastries with a pinched three-cornered shape, filled with poppy seed (mohn), jam, chocolate, or Nutella. Named for Haman's triangular hat, they are the signature food of Purim.
Mishloach Manot Baskets
Gift baskets of at least two ready-to-eat foods sent to friends on Purim. Hamantaschen, chocolates, dried fruits, wine, and baked goods are all popular inclusions.
Purim Seudah Feast
A festive afternoon meal on Purim day, celebrated with family and friends. Wine is central: the Talmud commands drinking until 'ad d'lo yada.' A full holiday meal with meat and wine is traditional.
Kreplach
Triangular meat-filled dumplings served in soup, traditionally eaten on Purim (as well as Yom Kippur eve and Hoshana Rabbah). The hidden filling mirrors the hidden miracles of the Purim story.
